This month, the Full Buck Moon in Capricorn will take place on 2024-07-21T10:16:00Z EST. To check the exact time of the Full Moon in your area, you can use the moon calendar from Astro Seek ([click here](https://mooncalendar.astro-seek.com/)). In this post, we will take a moment to explore **what a Full Moon is and how the sign of Capricorn might affect the energy of this moon**. As usual, there will be links, ideas, and inspiration for spells, rituals, and meditations! _Please note: Some links go to pages specifically for Spells8 members - make sure you’re logged in!_ ![image](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/a/6/a6cfe951a727a059e75ea54e330f5e4aa51f307d.png) # What is a Full Moon? > **If you need a recap of a Full Moon, click here! 🌕** > > A full moon happens when the moon is directly opposite the sun from the Earth. This means that the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, making it appear as a complete circle of light in the night sky. > > [![image](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/a/b/ab6ec064466265bcf30fd03238b8f8e32840bbd5.jpeg)](https://spells8.com/full-moon-spells/) > [Full Moon Magic Spells](https://spells8.com/full-moon-spells/) > > As with anything in witchcraft, there are many different beliefs on what type of magick should be done during a Full Moon. Some witches believe [banishing](https://spells8.com/simple-spell-banish-negativity/) should be done. Others believe intentions should be set for manifestations. Still, others (such as myself) believe that **the Full Moon is the best time** for _literally any spell you want_ because the energy is at its highest. > > > During the Full Moon, the Triple Goddess becomes the Mother of all beings. It’s a great time to work on intuition, spells of love, and prosperity. The Power of all Magic is truly at its peak, this lunar phase is key to either accept or reject projects, transformations, and manifestations that we initiated during the New Moon. - [Spells and Things To Do on a Full Moon | Spells8](https://spells8.com/full-moon-spells/) # The Full Buck Moon In the Northern Hemisphere, this moon is known as the Buck Moon. During July (and Spring in general), our antlered friends are growing their antlers, showing their age and maturity by the size of their antlers. Did you know that male deer shed their antlers every year? During Spring, a new set of antlers grows bigger and more impressive than the last year. You can tell how old a buck is by the size of its antlers. Some other names for this moon include Feather Moulting Moon and Salmon Moon. As always, feel free to give the moon a name that fits for your region! [![image](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/4/e/4e870097e317bcd1043f177a46c99546cbbdfc60.jpeg)](https://spells8.com/full-buck-moon-ritual/) [Full Buck Moon Ritual, Journal & Coloring Page (July)](https://spells8.com/full-buck-moon-ritual/) Since the seasons in the Southern Hemisphere are opposite the Northern Hemisphere, it makes sense that the Full Moon names would also differ. In the Southern Hemisphere, you may know this full moon as the [Wolf Moon](https://spells8.com/wolf-moon-ritual/), the Old Moon, or the Ice Moon. As always, feel free to give the moon a name that fits for your region! # The Sign of Capricorn Interestingly enough, this Full Moon will be in the sign of Capricorn. If you remember from June’s Full Moon post, the Full Strawberry Moon of June was _also_ in Capricorn! The [Farmer’s Almanac](https://www.farmersalmanac.com/buck-moon-horoscopes-july-2024) says this is rare, happening about as often as a [Blue Moon](https://forum.spells8.com/t/blue-moon-magick-for-health-and-wellness-spelling-challenge/4633) – every 2.7 years. It looks like we will see a second act of Capricorn’s energy coupled with the Full Moon. As the tenth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn is represented by the Sea Goat. It is a Cardinal Earth sign and is ruled by the planet Saturn. Capricorns bring about a sense of maturity and wisdom. **They are the “old soul” of the zodiac with a tendency to be more serious than their fellow signs.** Capricorn has the drive to succeed and achieve goals in an efficient manner, focusing on staying organized and reaching the end of their projects. Since they tend to be more serious, they often work well under pressure, reaching the finish line and getting things done. They aren’t all seriousness, though, as Capricorns are also very selfless, choosing to lend a hand to those in need whenever they can.

The energy of Capricorn is abundant, just as the energy of Spring (or Fall) in your region. Capricorn is a sign of drive, success, and abundance. Continue to work with the energy of the Full Moon to achieve your dreams and work toward your goals. If you do not currently have a goal in mind, consider some introspection on the concept of goals and success. It is never to late to follow your dreams. ![image](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/a/6/a6cfe951a727a059e75ea54e330f5e4aa51f307d.png) # Activities for the Full Buck Moon in Capricorn There are many things you can do for the full moon, but these activities will be enhanced by the specific energy of this Full Buck Moon in Capricorn! ## Chase Your Dreams! 🏃‍♀️ Driven by success, the energy of Capricorn and the abundance of the Full Moon is an auspicious time to work toward your goals.

Personally, I give myself a three-day window for the Full Moon: the day before, the day of, and the day after. This works well for my practice and it may work for yours, too! **Do you plan to work with this Full Moon? What are your favorite ways to work with a Full Moon?** **Let’s hear about it!** ---

> [@MeganB](#): > > You can tell how old a buck is by the size of its antlers. It’s true. Count the points on the antlers to tell the buck’s age. A nine point buck in the wild is considered quite old and wise enough not to get caught. The pictured 14 pointer is extremely rare! ---

Sorry, the biologist in me couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share. ☺ _Do deer antler points correspond to their age?_ > **Yes and No** > > ### Number of Points > > Another factor that can hint at a deer’s age is the number of points on its antlers. This metric varies depending on the deer subspecies and region. As a general rule, the number of points will increase as a deer grows older. However, it is important to note that other factors, such as genetics and nutrition, can also influence the number of points on a deer’s antlers. > > - **Yearlings** : Usually have 2-4 points > - **2-3 years old** : May have 4-6 points > - **4-5 years old** : Can exhibit 8-10 points > - **6+ years old** : Typically maintain 10+ points > [Source](https://wanderingoutdoors.com/age-of-a-deer-by-antlers/) That aside I’m looking forward to some journal writing and a Road Opener spell!!! Full moons always make me happy 🌝 ---

Methuselah I found this candle holder at my local dollar store last week and thought it would fit nicely into my Buck Moon ritual. The buck has about 28 points on the left side and 25 on the right. I think I will call him Methuselah! 😆 ![DSCN6607](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/8/2/82448e52fc8dafad6368f5eba04378921822b7a2.jpeg) ---

It was not my intention to say you were wrong. Often times field studies and long-term data show results that are different from the original conclusions. Continuing research can shed light on previous assumptions. It’s not a matter of who’s right or wrong, it’s just newer information gathered from more data and longer study and I wanted to share. I apologize that wasn’t received the way I intended it. 🙏 ---
